The Magnificent Seven Ride!

The Magnificent Seven Ride! is a 1972 Lee Van Cleef sequel -the 3rd sequel, the 1st to have Van Cleef- to the original 1960 Magnificent Seven classic. It has Mariette Hartley (who has a Star Trek connection) and Stephanie Powers (who was dreadful). We spent most of the film coming up with ideas for appropriate tortures for the cinematographer and director. It's sooo bad. I bought this DVD and watched it because of Lee Van Cleef, but nothing could make me watch it again. The trailer, on the other hand, deserves an award for making the movie look like something you'd actually pay money to go see.
